$curl = New Curl;

Simple calls

// Simple call to remote URL
echo $curl->simple_get('http://example.com/');

// Simple call to CI URI
$curl->simple_post('controller/method', array('foo'=>'bar'));

// Set advanced options in simple calls
// Can use any of these flags http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php

$curl->simple_get('http://example.com', array(CURLOPT_PORT => 8080));
$curl->simple_post('http://example.com', array('foo'=>'bar'), array(CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE => 10));
